The road less travelled

I was told by my x that there are no White Knights who were going to save me. I know that is clearly not true. The White Knights in life are your friends, your family and kind people you meet every day. They uplift you and make you feel stronger. My brother is a White Knight; my sons and daughters are certainly Knights. A few special men, who are dear and well loved friends, remind me that there is still much fun to be had and that I am good company.


I have several Female Knights as well, who have rescued me from despair and shown me that I could follow a new path in life. They bless me with wise advice and push me to make choices that are good for me and my children. They encourage me and reassure me that I am adaptable and competent; they provide models of behaviour that are nurturing and enduring.

When one travels through life it is important to have guardians to watch over you and protect you and show you the way. We just need to recognise who they are and be grateful.



The Road Less Travelled

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveller, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;



Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,



And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.



I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference
